Welcome to Smartlydwelling!

Smartly Dwelling was created by an architect and DIY enthusiast, coming from a family largely with the same background accompanied by an interior designer and a professional contractor who were frustrated about the lacking guides in the bathroom DIY field found online…

Welcome! My name is Alexander. I’m the face behind the Smartlydwelling.com website!

Years ago, on a hot summer day, trying to wash the sand away, I’ve fallen in love with the feeling of water splashing my skin, raining from a huge shower on the beach.

Ever since my desire for a beautiful and efficient shower never stopped.

After going through a bathroom renovation, my parents had bought a large square rain shower head, which I was really excited about!

The idea of showering daily from my early childhood days was a BIG DEAL!
I enjoyed the showering experience, and it was one less problem for my parents.

Growing up starting from the bathroom, which I always kept tidy and clean, I got hooked to various aspects of home improvement.

Watching my grandfather do some essential home maintenance and my father spending lots of time with plumbing fixtures has inspired me throughout the years to become a handyman.

With continuous interest, extensive research, and getting involved with them I’ve started growing individual success on DIY projects while really enjoying the journey.

And up until recently, when my mid 20’s were behind me, I realized that it’s time for me to accept the torch and do the heavy lifting. It all started after an incident where my mother had a badly bruised arm that had occurred due to a slippery bathroom floor.

Since then, I’ve held to rigorous standards for bathroom safety, started cleaning, replacing & installing bathroom fixtures, essentially making our home more safe, beautiful and efficient the smart way.

Our Mission On This Site Is To Help You Gather The Information You Need To Make Informed And Research-Backed Decisions to Improve the Quality of Your Bathroom Experiences.

How I Create Content

At Smartly Dwelling, the amount of research and vetting process varies, since some products involve more complex topics.

ALL the content we publish on this site has been written by specially selected writers for both their in-depth knowledge and real-life experience, but nothing is published online without my or the approval of a qualified caliber on the given topic. 

The content is strategically planned as we’re devoted to providing the best resource for those looking to improve the quality of their homes in a reasonable way.

As much as possible we try to handpick the items mentioned in this blog, so adequate tests and research can be performed from real-life experience, to ensure they meet the site’s mission and be of your interest.

Also, we rely on broad online feedback from real customers of these items as it is not always possible to put hands on specific items.

I’m always on the look for trends and often visits the local stores talking with their staff, trying to get to know all the items that come out with the most beneficial features.

I want this site to be sealed by your trust. When it comes to bathroom improvement, SmartlyDwelling will be an inspiration for DIY and how-tos.

It’s our mission to show how people enhance their own bathrooms, making them more beautiful, so you can make a well-informed decision for purchase that meets your target needs and budget.

Is All This Feasible?

As a house owner very often, I’m conscious about the health of my building. Hence I feel required to know-how to perform some basic maintenance and renovation tasks myself.

If you are a bit technical, calling a professional to install or fix some of the general and small repairs that are needed in your plumbing system might not be necessary.

Even if you aren’t…You can do it! We’re here for you.
Contact us, and let us know if you need advice in figuring out a specific bathroom challenge.

Though you can’t fix all the problems, occasionally, a plumbing professional is needed. Carefully consider before hiring a trustworthy commercial plumbing contractor.

Here are two bathroom improvement solutions that everyone should know about.

1 – Fixing A Leaky Toilet

Many people don’t realize it, but fixing a leaky toilet is relatively easy. A worn flapper is one of the most common causes of leaking toilets, and they can be purchased for just a few dollars. They also include simple instructions on how to replace them without hiring a plumber.

2 – Fixing A Leaky Sink

For leaky sinks, you might need to put a new cartridge in the interior. While this may sound like a complicated task, it only requires that you remove a couple of screws. These are simple ways to fix leaky sinks. If these tips don’t work, you may have a problem only a professional can handle.
